Bears WR Brandon Marshall appeared as a guest on a local Chicago sports radio show hosted by Carmen DeFalco. DeFalco seemed a little taken aback when Marshall confronted him for saying that the Bears organization was afraid of Marshall. In fact, Marshall demanded DeFalco answer to him for making the comment.
DeFalco seemed to dance around the question a little, while his cohost egged the conversation on. Eventually, Marshall became frustrated with the entire conversation and tells DeFalco that he’s a clown that doesn’t belong on the radio around the 2:40 mark. Here is the full transcript of what ensues at that point. Brandon Marshall Calls ESPN Radio Host a Clown (Audio)
“You’re a clown,” Marshall said to DeFalco. “You’re a clown, and you shouldn’t be on the radio.”
DeFalco again questioned Marshall, telling him it doesn’t look good for players to be challenging people on Twitter to fights.
“That’s what you don’t understand,” Marshall said. “I’m gonna tweet you right now that I’m gonna box you. It’s Twitter bro. You think I take Twitter serious? … Like I said, you’re a clown. It’s Twitter. I’m calling you a clown because clowns think I’m gonna take Twitter serious.
“You take life too serious. It’s ok to have fun. I do it all the time on Twitter. If someone wants to act big, I play with them. I’m never gonna see that guy, unless I do.”
DeFalco asked Marshall what he meant by that, and Marshall responded “I’m gonna see you.”
“OK, that’s not scary, I’ve got to be honest,” DeFalco said. “All you’re doing is threatening, and you’re gonna say you’re just playing, but that’s threatening stuff, Brandon.”
After a few more minutes, Marshall asked DeFalco to go one round with him.
“Me and you, we’ll just get on the grass, put some gloves on and box,” Marshall said.
Marshall apologized to DeFalco at the end of the show.
“I got sensitive,” Marshall said.
The Bears have certainly had no dull moments this season.
